Answer. A vision statement, in contrast, is a future-oriented declaration of the organization’s purpose and
aspirations. In many ways, you can say that the mission statement lays out the organization’s “purpose for
being,” and the vision statement then says, “Based on that purpose, this is what we want to become.” The

Q4. a. Define Technology Development
b. Delineate the phases of its process.

3. If a school's library is outdated or lacking in a selection of titles, a student might find it difficult to compile
the necessary research for an essay or research paper. As long as the school has a computer lab, students
are able to use the Internet and digital encyclopedias to obtain the research they need. While students
should be wary of the legitimacy of some of the content they read online, many schools use software like
the Encyclopedia Britannica to help students do research.
